Tooltip

Bestows a vile malediction upon the target, burning the sinew and muscle of its host, dealing (24.8% of Spell Power) Shadowflame damage immediately and an additional (370.7% of Spell Power) Shadowflame damage over 18 sec.

Periodic damage generates 1 Soul Shard Fragment and has a 50% chance to generate an additional 1 on critical strikes.

How it works

Its dispel type is client id 1. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

Wither is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. It scales with 0.4119 times spell power. It ticks every 2 sec, 9 times over the full 18 sec.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 271.

What it does

Wither is a Fire and Shadow spell with an instant cast, a range of 100 yards and effects that last 18 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 2 sec and applies an aura. It stacks up to 99 times.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the current retail game build. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
